Justin Taylor live in La Roque-d'Anthéron

Experience Justin Taylor live on August 1st

Justin Taylor, a Canadian pianist recognized for his deeply expressive and technically assured interpretations of Romantic and 20th/21st-century repertoire, will perform at the Abbaye de Silvacane in La Roque-d’Anthéron, France on August 1st, 2026. Taylor’s performances are often noted for their nuanced phrasing and a focus on conveying the emotional core of the music, encompassing composers such as Schubert, Schumann, and Rachmaninoff alongside contemporary works. He frequently explores lesser-known pieces alongside established classics.

The Abbaye de Silvacane is a Cistercian abbey founded in 1178, located near La Roque-d'Anthéron in Provence. It represents a significant example of Cistercian architecture in Southern France, notable for its Romanesque style and remarkably well-preserved cloister. The abbey ceased functioning as a monastic community during the French Revolution but was subsequently restored in the 19th century.

Today, the Abbaye de Silvacane is primarily known for its exceptional acoustics and serves as a renowned venue for classical music concerts, particularly during the annual Festival de la Roque d’Anthéron.
